摘　　要：Neutrophils are frontline cells of the innate immune system.These effector leukocytes are equipped with intriguing antimicrobial machinery and consequently display high cytotoxic potential.Accurate neutrophil recruitment is essential to combat microbes and to restore homeostasis,for inflammation modulation and resolution,wound healing and tissue repair.After fulfilling the appropriate effector functions,however,dampening neutrophil activation and infiltration is crucial to prevent damage to the host.In humans,chemoattractant molecules can be categorized into four biochemical families,i.e.,chemotactic lipids,formyl peptides,complement anaphylatoxins and chemokines.They are critically involved in the tight regulation of neutrophil bone marrow storage and egress and in spatial and temporal neutrophil trafficking between organs.Chemoattractants function by activating dedicated heptahelical G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs).In addition,emerging evidence suggests an important role for atypical chemoattractant receptors(ACKRs)that do not couple to G proteins in fine-tuning neutrophil migratory and functional responses.The expression levels of chemoattractant receptors are dependent on the level of neutrophil maturation and state of activation,with a pivotal modulatory role for the(inflammatory)environment.Here,we provide an overview of chemoattractant receptors expressed by neutrophils in health and disease.Depending on the(patho)physiological context,specific chemoattractant receptors may be up-or downregulated on distinct neutrophil subsets with beneficial or detrimental consequences,thus opening new windows for the identification of disease biomarkers and potential drug targets.
